Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

FranceThere has to be an improvement in the cleanliness of the showers and the toilet. This is also due to guest attitude because you can have someone cleaning the toilet every 5 minutes! And just be careful when you walk at the neighborhood in midnight hours.
I spent two days in a 4-bed dorm. It was ok in general. The staff was gentle and helpful. The breakfast was very cheap and something that can help you through the day. I would suggest it for short and cheap staying in Lyon. It is located in a central part of the city.

SpainThe fridge and kitchen in general is a bit too small to place your stuff, so make sure you put in just the necessary. Also, you need a key to enter your room and you might forget to take it everytime you go out the room to the living room / kitchen.
The hostel is really well located. Also, the vibe of it is really cool. Breakfast is so worthy, just 3€ a day and has so many options. It's really cheap also for people who will be staying for long. Staff is so friendly and kind. They open the door for you 24h.

GermanyNothing too serious but the outside of the building could really need a renovation. In general I did not like the street itself so much where the hostel was located. There were groups of men standing in corners and the nearby little park and unfortunately I got some unpleasant looks and calls, which made me feel a little unsafe, even in the middle of the day.
The hostel and the staff working there were really nice. Everything was very clean, the bed was comfy and most important (as it was a very cold day when I was there) the shower was pleasant and hot. I really liked the interior of the common room with its different areas. There is as well a working place, really amazing if you have to do some computer work. The kitchen was well equipped. Also a big plus is the walking distance to the river, the city center and both of the main train stations.

Czech RepublicThe dormitory room could use at least a table to put things at when searching something in the backpack. However it was no biggie. I was oversleeping, and it was manageable.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Hostel has very nice vibe. We were just few people in the room, you get spacious cages to put your things in, beds are comfortable. It feels to me that they care.

RomaniaRooms are very basic. The location (even though it is close to centre) it is a little bit strange. Safe, but strange.
Location is very good close to the Old Town of Lyon. Price was extraordinary and cheap breakfast was available at request. Shared rooms are large enough and have separate toilets for male and female. A large living is available having kitchen also. Staff was great. I would stay again here.

IndiaThe location, the crowd, the beds made noise and were shaky, the hostel looked shady, people stole food even after labelling, the heater the room didn’t work, the guests in the room had no respect for other sleeping guests.. I can go on!
The staff was really helpful and friendly. I reached 6 in the morning and the check in time was 3pm. I was exhausted and sleepy. The girl at the reception gave me the couch to sleep and I couldn’t be more thankful to her. Also, I was really cold at night, so another staff member gave me one more blanket.

NetherlandsUpon entering the room, I was apalled by how small it was. There was hardly any space. The locker was literally like a cage. The shower was not consistent. There were mosquitoes in the room. The SFR and Orange Signal was very poor. The wifi signal was very poor and didn't work for the entire 2 day stay. The toilet paper ran out and there was no spare paper. The reception had to be contacted. Lyon is a great city. For a complete experience, I wouldn't advise staying here unless you don't mind a rude guy at the reception, claustrophobic room replete with mosquitoes, slow shower and beyond egregious internet connectivity.
Have to admit, I was quite disappointed by this property. When I entered the hostel, the guy at the reception asked me to wait for 10 mins. I just asked the reason to which he cheekily said "Because you can see the computer is busy". The cocky tone doesn't set a very good precedent on a check-in. I even contemplated looking for other options. Thankfully, after 10 mins, the lady took over and was very kind and helpful with the overall process. Provided lock and the key with a 10 euro refundable deposit.
